Welcome to NFL Daily, where we don't need a stinking island to talk about quarterbacks.

0:13.9

I'm Greg Rosenthalm here in the Chris Wesleying podcast studio and talking to my friend, Ben Solac of ESPN from across the country. Can I call you a friend, Ben? We've just done a couple podcasts together. That might be presumptive. Yeah. And we've, we've regularly been at the same events and then not been able to attend the same like social gatherings. Like, oh, I've got to probably got to do this. Oh, you got to go somewhere TV and do that. So yeah, friend. That's a stretch. I'm looking forward. I think I've shook your hand once.

0:41.3

That's a stretch. I'm looking forward. I think I've, I think I've shook your hand

0:40.7

once and hopefully we'll make a second time. It's a stretch. I felt self-conscious about it the second I said it. But Ben was the guy I thought of here. And shout out to, uh, to our listener, Eric Jensen, who gets a co-producer credit here,

0:53.3

saying we hadn't been doing enough quarterback stuff lately.

0:56.6

And thought of Ben,

0:58.0

uh, our listener, Eric Jensen, who gets a co-producer credit here, saying we hadn't been doing

0:54.6

enough quarterback stuff lately and thought of Ben, talk a little quarterbacks before we break

1:00.4

for the summer. So we're going to talk about the most interesting quarterbacks of 20, 25. But before

1:06.6

we do that, just a little bit of news dropped, surprisingly, on Thursday morning. We got some

1:10.9

contract extensions for general manager Jason Light of the Buccaneers and his head coach, Todd Bowles

1:17.4

through 2028. We had Jason Light on the show earlier this offseason. We've said it when he's not

1:22.8

on the show, that we think he is one of the best GMs, was drafted very high in our GM draft just a few weeks ago. So it makes a lot of sense that he gets it. It's interesting that Bulls gets it at the same time. Where do you look or where do you see this Bucks team, like where they are in their team build and especially where Bulls and lighter at? Yeah, I've been very big on the bucks this off season.

1:44.5

And I think that when you go to make the NFC market for who's going to represent the conference in the Super Bowl, I think you have to put the Eagles at the top. And then I think the bucks deserve to be in that next tier. I would like lions, Rams, Buccaneers would be my next grouping. The Buckingiers defense last year was really rough. they had a ton of injuries in the back seven,

2:01.7

they struggle to generate a pass rush.

2:03.2

If you go and you look at the history of Todd Bulls, grouping. The Buckingier's defense last year was really rough and they had a ton of injuries in

2:01.0

the back seven and they struggled to generate a pass rush. If you go and you look at the history of Todd Bulls defenses, it's probably going to get better. Like that's one of the worst defenses he's ever fueled. He's a pretty reliably good defensive coach, has the system that's been working for a long time. They invested a ton on that back seven. So I think the defense is going to take a step back to the normalcy.

2:17.9

And then that offense returned to all 11 starters.

2:20.3

They re-signed Ben Brett. at a ton in that back seven. So I think the defense is going to take a step back to a normalcy.

2:17.9

And then that offense returned to all 11 starters. They re-signed Ben Bredesen in free agency. They re-signed Chris Godwin in free agency. Everybody's back in Amica, Gbukas, the cherry on top. So as long as you trust Josh Grizzard to kind of keep the ship online, as I would expect them to in Liam Cohen's departure, that's going to be a top 10 offense again.
